越国油在原油产量萎缩之际投资可再生能源

据7月9日Oil Monster消息：越南国家石油公司PetroVietnam正寻求涉足风力发电场和浮式太阳能电池板等可再生能源，因为该国大部分海上油田的国内原油产量已达到顶峰。

该公司表示，其目标是到2025年可再生能源发电能力达到100兆瓦，到2035年达到900兆瓦。

越南是亚洲增长最快的经济体之一，由于需求超过新发电厂的建设，从2021年开始将不得不应对严重的电力短缺问题。

根据政府统计总局的数据，今年上半年越南原油产量同比下降13.9%，至496万吨。

PetroVietnam称，化石燃料正在萎缩，因此发展可再生能源是不可避免的。将首先在其部分水电站建造浮动太阳能电池板，并在现有燃煤电厂安装屋顶太阳能电池板。

该公司补充说，随后将寻求国内外投资者的投资，在全国范围内发展太阳能、风力发电场和废物发电厂。

根据工业部数据，越南风能和太阳能发电厂的总装机容量在最近几年已大幅上升至5500兆瓦。

越南表示，将在未来十年内将其发电能力提高一倍以上，达到1.25-1.3亿千瓦，并将可再生能源的比重从目前的约10%提高到2030年的20%。

PetroVietnam to Invest in Renewables Amid Shrinking Crude Oil Production

Vietnam’s state oil firm PetroVietnam is seeking to venture into renewable energy sources like wind farms and floating solar panels, as domestic crude oil production has peaked at most of its offshore oil fields.

The company, formally known as Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, is targeting 100 megawatts (MW) of renewable capacity by 2025 and 900 MW by 2035, it told Reuters on Wednesday.

Vietnam, one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies, will have to battle severe power shortages from 2021 as demand outstrips construction of new power plants.

It has been struggling to maintain its crude oil output as reserves run low, while tension in the South China Sea has affected its offshore exploration and exploitation activities.

Vietnam’s crude oil output in the first half of this year fell 13.9% from a year earlier to 4.96 million tonnes, according to the government’s General Statistics Office.

“Fossil fuels are shrinking and, therefore, developing renewable energy is inevitable,” PetroVietnam said in an email in response to Reuters questions.

PetroVietnam said it would initially build floating solar panels at some of its hydropower dams and install rooftop solar panels at its existing coal-fired power plants.

It will later seek investment from foreign and domestic investors to develop solar and wind farms and waste-to-power plants throughout the country, it added.

According to the Ministry of Industry, the total installed capacity of Vietnam’s wind and solar power plants has risen strongly over the recent years to 5,500 MW.

Vietnam said it will more than double its power generation capacity over the next decade to 125-130 gigawatts and raise the proportion of renewable energy to 20% by 2030, from the current of around 10%.
